The aftermath of an Iranian missile attack on Israel's Nevatim air base was seen on Sunday, a day after the large-scale strikes by Tehran.
Footage shows craters in the ground, while an excavator and other vehicles could be seen working in the area.
The base, which is known to host fighter jets like the F35, F16, C-130 transport aircraft, and several storage facilities, was targeted during the Iranian attack on Israel.
Israel Defence Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated that caused by missile damage was 'minor' and did not halt base operations.
Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel on Saturday night in Tehran’s first direct attack on the Jewish state, signalling a major escalation of tensions in the region.
The attack came as a response to the alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, which killed at least seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), including a senior Quds Force commander. Israel did not claim responsibility for that attack.
The IDF claimed Iran had launched '300 threats of various types' towards Israel, adding that '99%' of the rockets and drones had been intercepted. At the same time, defence minister Yoav Gallant reported that 'very little damage was caused' due to the attack.
IRGC Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri has warned that Tehran would launch a 'much bigger' offensive if Israel were to target Iranian soil in response to Saturday’s attack, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was prepared to respond to a 'direct attack by Iran'.
US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said Washington had intercepted 'dozens of missiles and UAVs' before they had entered Israeli airspace. President Joe Biden reiterated his 'ironclad' support for Israel and said he will convene a G7 meeting on Sunday.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged both sides to exercise restraint and said he was 'deeply alarmed', warning of a 'very real danger' of a 'major military confrontation' on multiple fronts in the Middle East. The UN Security Council also held an emergency meeting.
